5 Steps To Developing Your Child’s Learning Style
Learning is a fundamental skill that everyone possesses. Babies learn how to survive, as well as critical language skills, and movement from the moment they are born. Parents can help to enhance their child’s learning process, and help their children develop skills that they will use for a lifetime. 1.
The iBook Author Project: Transforming the Classroom.
This is a great find. For those of you lucky enough to be a Mac school, I firmly believe the library needs to promote--prodigiously!--not just the teacher use of iBooks Author, but STUDENT-CREATED iBooks.
5 Educational Videos Recorded With Google Glass
We’re pretty excited about the prospect of using Google Glass in education. So much so that we wrote a whole ‘Teacher’s Guide To Google Glass’ and have chatted with a few teachers and early adopters who are already using the hardware. One of those instructors is Andrew Heuvel. You might remember him from a previous article we ran on Edudemic about Andrew’s trip to CERN which he recorded using Glass and brought it into the classroom. It was pretty impressive and showed the power of Glass to unlock learning like never before. But Andrew has taken his teaching-using-Glass passion to a whole new level.
How to Incorporate Video Into Your Haiku Decks
Earlier this week I shared 76 examples of Haiku Deck being used in school and then I shared Ken Shelton's great presentation on the importance of visuals in storytelling. Yesterday, Ken told me about Haiku Deck's directions for incorporating video into your presentations. This is a topic that a few people have asked me about this week so I think it's worth noting that Haiku Deck has published directions for incorporating videos. While you cannot import videos directly into your presentations yet, Haiku Deck does suggest two ways that you can use video with your Haiku Deck presentations.

This weekend is Memorial Day. It’s a time for family and picnics–a solid day off on Monday. I struggle with this. Too many Memorial Day sale fliers are mailed to the house and stuffed into newspapers, “Memorial Day Sale–Half Off!” We should never forget the reason for this day of observance. Soldiers have served proudly, and often died, so I can enjoy the freedoms to which I’ve become accustomed.

A Handful of Apps to Add to Your New iPad (even if you don’t take it to school)
Every year at this time I publish a short list of the apps that I recommend installing if you received a new iPad during this holiday season. Even if you don’t take your new iPad to school, these apps are helpful. I have terrible typing technique and I like to sketch ideas before writing about them.
